Saw a guy in Houston try to lift with a choker hitch on a single leg beam yesterday
I almost yelled up at him but he was already lifting and I didn't want to spook him lol. Anyone else see rookies using the wrong hitches and just wanna walk away?

Did the guy even have the tag line on the beam? I see that way too often where they skip the tag line and the beam just starts spinning like a helicopter blade. A choker on a single leg is a disaster waiting for a swing, especially if the crane jerks. Houston yards get windy too, I can only imagine how sketchy that looked from the ground.

Exactly. Skip the tag line on a beam like that and you're basically playing roulette. Had one swing on me in Galveston once - damn near took out a welder's truck. Crew chewed me out for a week. Never again.
